The chemistry and biochemistry faculty have earned national and international acclaim for their excellence in both teaching and research. Students and professors collaborate on groundbreaking research projects supported by organizations like the National Science Foundation, U.S. Department of Defense, and National Institutes of Health. The department proudly hosts the prestigious Xiphophorus Genetic Stock Center. As dedicated teacher-scholars, faculty members prioritize both educational quality and student participation in their robust research initiatives. Their work extends to securing grants, publishing findings, and serving the department, institution, academic field, and local community. Research areas span: analytical, inorganic, organic, polymer, and physical chemistry, chemical education, protein biochemistry, biomaterials, molecular biology, and biophysics.
The Master of Science (M.S.) in Chemistry program prepares students for professional chemistry careers, strengthens chemistry educators' qualifications, and builds foundations for advanced academic pursuits.
